Every Toyota I've seen has a screw-on gear knob. They're usually fairly easy to get off, UNLESS some bastard previous owner glued it on at some point. If this is the case you probably won't be able to get if off without destroying it. Good luck!

If your car was ever in a car yard they probably used loc-tite so people do not steal them.
